Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image features two figures in a pencil sketch style, showing their full bodies. The figure on the right is in a dynamic pose with one arm extended gracefully. This individual has delicate features with light strokes and wears an elaborate headpiece with feathers or floral elements. Their attire is form-fitting with decorative patterns and a long skirt. The person on the left stands with a neutral posture, slightly angled to face forward. They have softly sketched facial features and a helmet-like hairstyle. Their costume includes puffed sleeves and a decorative element on the chest. The background has light shading resembling a draped curtain, creating a theatrical atmosphere.
